Our Mission
“CIRENAS exists to create transformative connections between people and the environment through education, research, integration and innovation.”
CIRENAS offers 1-3 week-long short courses for middle school, high school, college, graduate and adult participants.
The Caletas-Ario National Wildlife Refuge is in jeopardy due to environmental degradation, illegal fishing, fires and turtle egg poaching.
Our place-based semester programs, summer programs and short courses create authentic, hands-on, learning experiences for students of all ages.
Students and researchers join efforts with local stakeholders in order to conduct action research projects focused on the creation of a more sustainable future.
Homestays, service learning, stakeholder meetings and working together towards common goals help students and stakeholders make life changing connections.
“Necessity is the mother of invention” and our off the grid campus surrounded by an imperiled wildlife refuge inspires action, adjustments and ideas.
